Visia Complexion Analysis

This new technology gives you a computerized, quantified analysis of your skin.  It allows a comparative analysis with the population in your age range and provides a visual report of treatment progress as we follow the objective skin regimen Visia has provided.

What are the skin features that VISIA analyzes, and how are they detected?

• Surface Spots are typically brown or red skin lesions, including freckles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and vascular lesions, distinguishable by their distinct color and contrast from the background skin tone.  They vary in size and shape, and are normally visible to the naked eye. Surface Spots are represented in VISIA's "white light" image.
• UV Spots occur when melanin is accumulated just below the skin surface as a result of sun damage.  UV Spots may not be visible under normal lighting conditions.  The selective absorption of the UV light by the epidermal melanin enhances its display and detection by VISIA.
• Brown Spots are lesions on and deeper within the skin such as hyperpigmentation, freckles, lentigines, and melasma.  Brown Spots occur from an excess of melanin.  Melanin is produced by melanocytes in the bottom layer of the epidermis.  Brown Spots produce an uneven appearance to the skin, and are detected in VISIA by RBX Technology using cross-polarized imaging.
